Why? He only turned 29 about 6 weeks ago, Silva the best player in the league is 33 in 2 months,
I'd say we should have the expectation of him maintaining his level for at least 3 seasons after this, has never relied on pace, by all accounts he's a model pro whose lifestyle shouldn't shorten his career, and stayed clear all his career of any serious injury.
The blud brap ting fam variety of Arsenal fans.

Agree with this, he might even improve and be one of those fine wine players

Because Gylfi is the definition of a speed merchant? Why in the world will he suddenly loose it in 6months time?

Just look at those types of players who've played at the top level well into their thirties and the thing in common with most is they never relied on pace, and had a team which surrounded them with faster players who run their socks off - seems to me that is what we're doing with the way we are recruiting

Walcott + Coleman + Sigurdsson have been the 3 players ive said needed replacing.
Walcott -- Its becoming obvious to others now that hes massively inconsistent. Will lose his pace soon and then what use is he?
Coleman -- Fine against Brighton...lets see if he can string a few decent games together before he starts acting like Maximus.
Sigurdsson -- ive always liked and hes doing well now...finally. lets see if it lasts.
Before we look at mid-term lets see if he can keep it up till the end of this season.
Vlasic will give him a big test next summer...
Never doubted him.

I like vlasic mate, but he won't ever be the player siggurdsson is, he hasn't got the natural vision etc
They’re not even similar players to me.

Pretty much agree, only real thing in common is that both are probably best in that attacking central mid spot, vlasic reminds me a lot more of someone like the lad who real sold to Chelsea - kovacic? (sp)
I hate mentioning numbers but to me he’s a classic modern “8” now.

You could also add a strong natural build (ie not prone to put weight on). If you look at Giggs, probably the best example the lad is still like a pencil. Sigurdsson is very much of the same ilk. I've never watched him and ever worried about his legs (and let's face it there have a different point been many other criticisms).
Compare that to a Rooney, who probably had a lot of the former two attributes, but was a heavier build lad and it caught up with him very quickly.
He will be quality until 32-33 imo, unless he somehow starts running backwards , he’s never relied on pace and his technique is his strength and awareness. He might not be our main man then but will still be useful . His workrate is also massive so saying what I have just said I now realise that he probably won’t be able to do as many yards when he’s that age, sell now just to be safe
